Akbaruddin Owaisi, Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) MLA is known for his inflammatory speeches but this time his hate speech has crossed the limit, and can even damage MIM as never before. On 24 December 2012, Akbaruddin Owaisi gave a speech at Nirmal, Adilabad district, about 200 kms from Hyderabad. This hate speech by him went viral on the Internet, and different sections of the society across the country condemned it, and are demanding stringent action against Akbaruddin Owaisi.

Akbaruddin Owaisi always makes notorious comments in his speeches, but in his recent speech where he addressed a huge rally of Muslims in Nirmal town for two hours, he made several derogatory and provocative comments against Hindus deities, Narendra Modi, BJP, Vishwa Hindu parishad, India and the United States of America. He compared Narendra Modi with Ajmal Kasab, and questioned that when Ajmal Kasab had been hanged then why not Narendra Modi?

The speech also sparked outrage on Twitter, and the Twitterati are demanding rigorous action against him. Political analysts are saying that the speech given by Akbaruddin Owaisi at Nirmal have greatly damaged the image of MIM party. This proves that MIM leaders are still living in an older generation and are unaware of the social, political and technological growth in the country. This incident also gave an impression that such leaders cannot lead the country, reported The Times of India.
